About this place
Pair kakiage soba with a piece of inari sushi for a meal that balances tempura with a sweet rice snack. Visitors have commented on the crisp texture of the kakiage and the sweetness of the inari sushi. The menu also includes soba topped with prawn or chikuwa tempura. Choose a topping when you want tempura to take centre stage, or opt for a lighter bowl: soba and udon are available hot or cold.
Some diners have said that a chilled bowl of soba was refreshing on a hot day, offering a different choice from the hot version. Breakfast options include soba served hot or cold, as well as a mini tempura-and-egg soba. The range of portion sizes and toppings makes it easy to choose a quick morning meal to suit your appetite.
For a more substantial bowl, consider beef dipping soba, which brings together the richness of beef, the mellow quality of egg and the sharp kick of chilli oil. It offers a different style from a light chilled bowl or tempura soba. Diners report that the restaurant uses a ticket-vending, self-service system: after ordering, check the monitor or other display for your call, then return your dishes when you have finished. The restaurant can be accessed from inside or outside Shimokitazawa Station and is suited to solo dining.
